I have a book, Learning Irish. It teaches the now somewhat standardized pronounciations. It also comes with an audio CD, on which I heard the pronounciation. I'll try to communicate that pronounciation here using the English phonetic notation.
So, it's:
A-ruh
Long "A", like in "grApe"
For the r, the tongue rolls a tiny bit.
the "u" in "ruh" sounds like the 'u' in "tough".
